Chapter 82: Dueling Practice (Part-3) (1/2)

My… secret…

What the actual fuck!? Which secret is she talking about!?

Because God damn, I have way too many of them.

“I-I don’t know what secrets are you talking about, P-Princess Leena. I-I don’t have any secrets,” I say while looking away nervously.

“Hmm? Really? Then please tell me, were all the things I saw, an illusion?” She asks while raising her eyebrows.

“You performing that perfect water formation spell to fill the water-bottle underneath your table while purposely failing to fill the glass above.

“Being successful with the Earth shifting magic secretly in the first try. And not to mention, that spectacular wind rotation magic which was of the likes I have never seen before,” she says with a small smile.

Shit…

“H-How do you know about this!?” I ask fearfully.

How the fuck is this possible!?

Leena should be the last person to know about all these things. I was specifically looking out for her while performing these spells.

“Oh, do you really think that I cannot see you when I am looking the other way?” she asks with a light giggle.

Well, duh. That’s how shit works, girl.

Seriously, is this chick crazy or what?

“You can?” I ask while raising my eyebrows.

“Obviously. Just a simple Observation spell and I can keep an eye on you 24×7,” she simply says.

…

“Observation spell… Y-You are kidding, right!? That’s bullshit!” I say loudly.

“Please try to keep your voice down. And no, I am not kidding,” she answers without a hint of shame.

…

Unbelievable… The Dark Elf princess really is a fucking stalker.

Shit! She must know about all my secrets.

This is bad. This is really fucking bad…

“D-Do you… Do you keep this observation spell active for the entire day?” I ask.

I hope she at least turns off this spell when I go to the bathroom. I really don’t want this princess to be a peeping pervert as well.

“Well, sadly, no. This spell only works when the observant is in close vicinity to the caster. And I know that I have probably missed a lot of important stuff about you because of this restriction,” Leena says, sounding genuinely regretful.

Oh, so, you regret not being able to stalk me to your heart’s content, huh?

Sigh…

Anyway, it’s great news that she hasn’t seen the stuff I have done outside the school. I guess I can work with this.

“You know what? I think I will report this to Mrs. Laura. No, I will report this to Mr. Winde,” I say threateningly.

“Oh, really? And you will report what, huh? That your teacher seeking the best way to observe you during the class? Sure, go ahead,” Leena says with a small smile.

Fuck…

Suddenly, her expressions turn extremely serious again.

“Jacob, just listen to me, okay? I think that you are a real prodigy. And as far as I can see, not just from Human standards. If you train with me, I believe that you can become really powerful,” she says with a strange glint in her eyes.

“And what makes you think that I want to become “really powerful”, huh?” I ask while raising my eyebrow.

I mean, obviously, I want to become powerful. Hot chicks dig powerful men.

But I am not going to tell this to Leena…

“Y-You don’t want to become powerful?” Leena asks.

And for the first time since I met her, she looks a little shaken.

“Nope. Haven’t you heard that “With great power, comes great responsibility” shit? They repeat this boring— I mean, great line in every movie.

“Anyway, I want to live a peaceful and simple life. And power is something that will only hinder that,” I tell her with a shrug.

For me, a peaceful life means fucking numerous hot women daily, especially while not being in shitty situations like having a glitched system and stuff.

“Y-You are too young to understand this, Jacob! Power is everything! Everything! And I can give you that! I am just asking for a small favor in return to use that power for me first and defeat Ilyrana’s students,” Leena says desperately.

…

“No, I am not doing this. This is a school, you know? I think there are plenty of people who can teach me stuff without asking any favors. And you know what? I might even ask Ilyrana herself. She seems like a really pleasant girl. I am sure she will teach me with no strings attached,” I say while trying to suppress my smirk.

“NO! No… D-Don’t do that. I-I cannot let Ilyrana have you. No, I won’t let that happen…” Leena says. I can see a mixture of anger, frustration, and desperation on her face.

Have I taken this too far?

I mean, Leena is a princess after all. She can fuck me up pretty bad if I get her too annoyed.

“O-Okay then, you don’t want power, right?” She asks, forcibly calming herself again.

“Nope,” I calmly answer.

“Very well then. What if I grant you one wish, huh? In exchange for defeating the students of Ilyrana, I will fulfill any one of you wishes,” she says in a serious tone.

…

“Grant me a wish? What are you? A genie or something?” I ask with a frown.

“No, I am not. But I am the princess and heir of the Dark Elf kingdom,” she replies with a high and mighty look.

“Oh, so, you are implying that you can give me anything just because you are a princess, huh?” I ask while raising my eyebrows.

“Obviously,” she says haughtily.

“Are you sure? I doubt that you can give me anything I ask…” I say while faking a doubtful expression.

“Huh…” Leena gives out a chuckle.

“I swear upon my name, Leena Stormbrewer, the princess and heir of the Dark Elf kingdom, that I will grant one wish of yours after you comply with my request. You can ask for anything, and it will be yours,” She declares in a loud voice.
